This listing is for a vintage 1940’s snapshot signed by the celebrity or celebrities indicated above. This item has been authenticated and slabbed by Beckett Authentication Service (BAS). Beckett puts each item into a protective sleeve before the item is slabbed and sometimes wrinkles in the sleeve are picked up in our scan / picture. The wrinkles / glares you see in the scan are very difficult to see in person. This autograph is part of a large collection that we obtained and all the autographs were signed in-person from 1939 to 1949 in the downtown Chicago area often at the train station. Please look at the photo we have provided closely, since the item was signed over 70 years ago some of the autographs might have slight stains and bends or even wrinkles. These photos all seem to have been signed in black ink and often the celebrity would sign in a dark area of the photo and our scanner has a hard picking up the autograph. In person the autograph(s) look much better. These autographs went untouched for over 70 years and we did our best to preserve their original condition. We have scanned in pictures of both the back and front of the photo. If the backside is black that means we added a piece of acid free black paper because the back of the photo was unpresentable. Some of the photos were glued into photo albums. You will also notice that most of the autographs have been dated. We are quite certain that is the date the autograph was signed and in some cases we think the celebrity added the date but most of the dates were probably added by the collector after obtaining the autograph. We do NOT sell pre-prints, photocopies or facsimiles of any kind. The free listing tool. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Autographs\Movies”.
